"We really enjoyed our stay at Larnach Lodge. The castle and grounds are so beautiful. We stayed in the Scottish room and the balcony was a big plus overlooking the beautiful trees and water. A nice breakfast in the stables was included in our stay as well as a tour of the castle. Do not miss the 4 course dinner. The food was amazing and you get to eat in a real castle!"

Highland House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a truly lovely place to stay. I love the heritage style and homey - yet stylish and clean - atmosphere. I've stayed here a few years ago, and I would stay here again. It's a great place to call home during my time in Dunedin. The room is a generous size and very comfortable - including a very comfortable bed, fresh beautiful linen, and a handy kitchenette. The bathroom is great, with a nice shower and tub for baths. The location is good - in-between North East Valley and the city centre, and a 20-minute walk to the University of Otago's campus. Very friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond - including helping me navigate my rental car out of the tight parking space, and offering to do up my room even when it wasn't strictly necessary. Always asking what I needed, and making me feel most welcome. :)"
